of techniques and topics and you can still
purchase any back issues if you missed a
part! We start ‘Alpine A443’ an in depth Car
modeling tutorial in 3 parts by Dettore Olliver
Thomas. Parts 2 will follow in the next issue.
Neil Maccormack has written an exclusive
tutorial on ‘Intergrating 3D objects into 2D
environments’. This skill has been fairly
overlooked and we thought it time to show
you how! The ‘Making Of’s’ section this month
features ‘Nintendo’ by Michael Knap &
‘Furniturecluster’ by Mathias Koehler. We also
have a look at ‘Robo’ by Juliano Castro, which
features in the www.3dtotal.com book ‘Digital
Art Masters’.
ABOUT US
is a new company comprising
of a small team here in the Midlands, UK.
This magazine is our irst project which we
are hoping, with the support of the community,
will build into a great resource and a highly
anticipated monthly release. The ‘support of
the community’ is an interesting point, where
a ‘magazine for 3d artists’ is not an original
idea, the marketing and distribution of this
magazine, as far as we know, is a irst. It
follows the principle of traditional magazines
that are sold on news stands and in many
outlets, but being a digital downloadable
mag the many established web communities
on the net are our outlets and newsstands.
3DCreative is supported by 3dexcellence,

Every month, many artists from around the world
contribute to 3DCreative Magazine. This month,
we would like to thank the following for their time,
experiences and inspiration.
Fred Bastide
Montreux, Switzerland
I have been practicing
sculpture & drawing since
childhood. Artistic activities
have always been very
important for me, and art truly is my way of life. I got
a classical artistic education, and I’m a graduate
of the Ecole des arts appliqués de Vevey & Ecole
supérieure d’arts décoratifs de Genève. However,
I’m a self taught cg artist. I principally use computer
generated images in addition to traditional art, I like
to marry old and new techniques to make artworks.
Mathias Koehler
3D artist > Freelancer >
Braunschweig, Germany >
I’m dealing with 3D for about
3 and a half years. My focus
is modelling, lighting and
texturing. Through CG I became interested in art
in general and also started drawing. Currently I’m
a student of Industrial Design at Braunschweig
School of Art. I’m addicted to coffee, books and
electronic music.
Juan Siquier
Born in Albacete / Spain
Before CG world I used to
spend my days painting
in traditional mediums &
showcasing my art in many
expositions. since 2000 I have spent more time
self learning computer graphics. I have been a web
designer in a small local company and freelance
graphic designer, I am currently working as a 3d
modeler and texture painter on a feature animation
called “Dear Anne, the gift of hope” at 263ilms in
Milan, Italy.
Michael Knap
3D Artist > 3d-animation.
dk, Denmark. I have been
working professionally with 3d
modelling, texturing and a little
animation for the past 1½ year.
I started out right afterschool being headhunted for
the occupation. Most of the time I make interactive
real-time models, but recently I was put on high
quality realistic renderings. 3DS MAX is my current
weapon of choice. Hope I will be doing more
commercials in the future and maybe take part in
the character animation part.
Neil Maccormack
freelance 3d artist >
Bearfootilms> Geneva
Switzerland. i was irst exposed
to 3d at university where a
house friend was using a very
early version of LW on the amiga and i was just
hooked since then. It took me a few years after that
to start producing my own 3d images and animation
but i soon realized that it was what i wanted to do.
I have been working freelance now for the past 2
years after starting my own and very small studio in
Geneva switzerland where i live.
